Create an Application, Add Materials, or Request a Letter on Behalf of an Applicant
This article explains how Committee Managers and Administrators can create an application on behalf of an applicant in Faculty Search (FS).
Administrators and Committee Managers cannot fill out forms (EEO or Custom) on behalf of applicants. Applicants must be notified to complete any form responses, and to do so the application must allow for updates.
